This isn't a good thread for me to be reading. I'm out with a separated shoulder, the 4 crashes prior to the shoulder all netted me a lasting injury, my bud just trashed his ankle and a wrist prior to that, an insane BMXer and all around great guy I greatly admired just died... I'm feeling awfully mortal right now.
Any of you guys ever hit a point where you feel like you need to just stop. Step back. Take a DEEP breath and then start all over from the beginning? I'm so twitched out on everything right now. I feel like even a simple berm is out to get me...

Here's the guy who jacked up his ankle...well...jacking up his ankle. Overshooting the tranny for a 15 ish sized drop. This is SUPPOSED to be the roll/drop in for a future step-up to the run in for a creek gap. But I think we're gonna have problems with the lip eroding too quickly. So just another huck it will be...sigh...
He was SUPPOSED to stop pedalling before he ducks under the tree limb...

Here is a spill I took about 2 weeks ago qualifying for slalom at Mt Snow. My front end washed out and well... you can see the rest. End result is a broken collarbone.

Nice pictures guys!
Thrillseeka, I know what it feels like to loose friends that ride. I hope your shoulder feels better, and try to look on the brighter side of things, I mean, at least for me, I think I would go insane without access to 2 wheels.
PS: My pressure suit increases levels of confidence for me : )
That sequence is really rad psp.
Caballero... perfect timing!

argleargleargle

Why did I read this thread!?!? I'm just getting into MB at 37. I have a job where I need all of my arms and legs.... Do I really want to risk these kinds of injury? Argh....
I'll post some of the wrecks I've shot, but none of them are this heinous!

That is 2 totally different vids. The first, the youtube one, he went off to the left, and there was no ladder for a take off. He also hit the tree upright. The second, the 60 minutes one, he went off to the right, and hit the tree upside-down.
hope you don't mind the ds wreck... i didn't notice this was the dh forum...
^ It's fine. This forum makes the most sense for DS/4x (it's basically the gravity racing forum).
Damn, he got stabbed by that guys bar...

quote myself. Heres the stunt that caused my ownagephoto of my wrist from last october, 2 surgeries later, a metal plate and 12 screws and im good to go!
I KNOW THAT FEELING!!! ^^^ It's like a 70 foot drop with a dual tire tap in the middle! Usually invoked by knees that refuse to bend out of fear and panic...
1 word... DOOMED...Here is one of my buddy, that I took, about to go down.
Dhrfx joe, man, I have a hard time just trying to roll it fast, how did you even freakin think to jump it? lol
me after eating it
heres the vid
thats me...not so nice...
He was clipped in too.
Still clipped in??? OUCH. This is one of the reasons a fear riding clipless in downhill. I could see me getting hooked up in a rock garden and staying attatched...
thats me...not so nice...
PS: Sam Hill doesn't ride clipless
Plus I freeride more

Christ yeah, they're not even wearing the same jersey! The Ben kid in the MSN vid is just that, a kid. In a Brown Tshirt on a red bike, the guy that died was a heavy set older guy(older than the kid anyway) in a bright green freakin jersey and ate it on the left side of the run-out and I don't think he left from a ladder, just dirt.
